Bigg Boss 13 Finalist Rashami Desai Was Just 16 When She Faced The Casting Couch!

The struggle of facing the Casting Couch is very much real! We have heard so many cases and I have personally faced it when I was 24 and had gone to Mumbai to try my luck in voice over. That is when I realised that it was all true! This time Bigg Boss 13 finalist Rashami Desai shared her encounter. She was just 16 which is a very impressionable age as well.

Speaking to a media house, Rashami Desai opened up about her ordeal. She said that the culprit spiked her drink and tried to molest her. It was her mother who took his case later and we are thankful!

“I still remember that I was told if you don’t go through casting couch, you won’t get work. His name is Suraj and I don’t know where he’s now. First time we met, he asked me about my statistics and I didn’t know what it meant back then. I told him I don’t know and he knew that she’s completely unaware of things. He was the first person who tried taking advantage of me and tried to molest me in some or the other way,” said Rashami.

She added that the man had called for an audition and when she reached there, not a single soul was present, there were no cameras...

“One day, he called me for an audition and I was all excited. Main pohuch gayi aur waha koi nahi tha except him (So I reached the place but there was no one there except him). There were no cameras and he tried his level best to spike my drink and get me unconscious. I kept saying I don’t want to do it. Somehow, he wanted to psyche my mind. From there, I managed to come out after two and a half hours and I told my mother everything,” she added.

So once her mother got to know, she called him and asked him to meet them at a restaurant and that is when her mother slapped him and showed him his right place.

“She told him, ‘If you do this again with my daughter, you remember that this just the beginning, next time I’ll screw you’,” Rashami said.

Rashami was among the finalists on Bigg Boss 13 and is known for her roles in shows such as Uttaran and Dil Se Dil Tak.
